Tbf we've had shit for a long time now. I want my club to do well and be sustainable. Will never drop it for an armchair club, but pissed off with continual shit. Shame so many in the Town do follow big clubs like sheep, with their support we'd probably be on a par with other clubs with similar population. If you look at the likes of Norwich and Ipswich with their catchment areas, we can only dream. Swindon has more people than either of those too. Too many plastics here though.

The success that many supporters crave isn't going to happen unless you have someone who can chuck loads of money in each season . No one who is able to do so wants to touch us with a barge pole .

The Hall interview certainly did it’s job … it was a chance to get to know him and we certainly got to know him no messing around. The man lacks self awareness,it’s like a job interview do you go in slagging everyone off?

The positives under Clem have slowly dwindled to 'he's not Power', but given all the lurkers/hangers on/chancers behind the scenes have remained onboard, that distinction from the previous owner has disappeared as well.

It's not necessarily the success the supporters crave, it's just being well ran and not being insulted that most fans want at this rate The damage this regime has done is staggering. Something stabilising like Fitton's takeover would go a long way right now. |

Power at least ran a competent footballing operation for several years until the Sheridactyl came in. |

The re-emergence of the Andrew Black thread the other day reminded me of the David Byrne LSPod episode where he said Jeremy Wray was desperate to buy the club again and had the backers to do so. Wonder if he's still interested these many years on or whether he's dedicating his time to racing again.
Not saying this is something I would want either given how it all panned out, but just remembered that nugget from that episode.

And hired people who had a clue. It's a rudderless, blind leading the blind with no clue or leadership. What's scary is I think Clem actually believes his own bullshit. |

Morfuni probably does think he knows what he is doing... there lays the problem.... he does not need to answer to anyone except himself.
What a mess this club is currently in.

Morning everyone.
Apologies about the rant yesterday.
The point I was trying to make was the clear difference between a professionally run organisation like Bath Rugby offers everything for me within walking distance from home with great food and drink options en route.
Swindon unfortunately offers (at present) the opposite.
There really is no incentive to invest.
Legal team say NO
Financial team say NO
Sorry.

Sound reasoning to be fair, if I had the money then STFC is the last place I’d be putting it currently. |

Don’t apologise, emotions running high yesterday and no signs of stopping now. I’ve honestly had enough, considering lots of things at present. If I was fortunate to have money to invest I wouldn’t go anywhere near this lot. Would buy the club for sure but just couldn’t justify a penny to them. That is where my thoughts are right now. |

No need to apologise. I personally don’t have the means to invest a substantial amount into the club let alone finance a takeover but I know someone that I do few little odd jobs for over the last few years who does have the means and has even spoken to me about it. Like you though his thoughts are the same, what he would like to do and what his advisers recommend are worlds apart. How can you even begin to deal with STFC when we can’t even be sure who owns the club? Is it Clem really or is he just a face? Standing? Power? Can’t see anyone wanting to takeover the club while so many shady figures in the background who no doubt will want their slice of a payout. Question, if Power really has no involvement at STFC anymore then why hasn’t he rocked up elsewhere as his history shows? The fact that he just seems to have vanished off the face of the earth doesn’t sit well with me. |

That would be dreamy. I suspect he would not, for the simple reason that you know you’re negotiating with aggressive, underhand, dishonest amateurs. But, if you are reading Jeremy, you’d be welcomed with open arms… |

Investing- big fat no.
Having enough to take over and run the club properly - big fat yes.
Having some financial clout and on the inside could initiate fundamental change or, at least, mind set.
